Thanks for the heads up!

Would be cool, but it will go against my slightly stock theme:

No aftermarket rims
No window tint
No aftermarket headlights or taillights
No taillight tint

But I will consider aftermarket reverse lights if I could find them already tinted.

Well having tint on the windows would not take away from the stock appearance because you can get the windows tinted from the dealership when you purchase the Monte. I agree a minor tint on the tailights would look much better not even black.

You're Monte looks REALLY good.

I know it goes against your stock theme. But I would go with some different rims. They don't have to be too elaborate. And you can even keep the stock 18" size if you want. I'm not saying you should change the tire size. Just the rim design. That way you can transfer your tires to the new rims.

I've just never been a fan of the stock 06/07 SS rims. To me they look too thick and chunky. And not much character to them. Just your basic 5-star pattern with A LOT of flat (somewhat boring) aluminum showing.

They're not horrible. Definitely nicer than some other rims I've seen. But just a bit on the boring side with all that flat aluminum showing. But that's just me. If you like them, I'm happy for you.

I wouldn't murder out your car like some others have suggested. (tinting the windows, tail lights, etc.) That's been done to death (no pun intended). There's too many murdered-out cars out there already. It's a nice look. But when you go to show-n-shines or meets, too many of the black cars are murdered out. Too much of a good thing gets boring.

I tint the windows in my cars for privacy sake. I don't want people seeing every little thing I have inside my car. If you tint your windows in the future, do it for that purpose.

Looks good as it is but a set of flashy black and chrome summer wheels would look good.

I couldn't agree more,murdered out is cool but I'm trying not to follow what most expect me to do. I'm a fan of the clean stock appearance like the JDM guys and I know that's blasphemy to say on this site but I'm just being honest. I like the stock rims and I guess I haven't found a set of rims that appeals to me so far.
